Thomas Muldoon Named Finalist For Lowes Senior CLASS Award

Mar 29, 2010

Providence, Rhode Island - Brown University senior attackman
Thomas Muldoon (Oakton, VA), one of the top scorers in Brown
lacrosse history, has been selected a finalist for the Lowe’s
Senior CLASS Award in men’s lacrosse, an award that
recognizes student-athletes who excel on and off the playing field.

To be eligible for the award, a student-athlete must be
classified as an NCAA Division I senior and have notable
achievements in four areas of excellence: Classroom, Character,
Community, and Competition.

Muldoon and nine other finalists have been placed on the
official ballot for a nationwide vote that begins today and
concludes on May 18. Fan balloting is available on the
award’s official web site, http://www.seniorCLASSaward.com
as well as through text messaging. Brown fans are encouraged to
vote early and often. Fans can text LAX to 74569 to vote for
the finalists. These votes will be combined with votes from
coaches and media to determine the recipient of the award.

An acronym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying
in School, the Lowe's Senior CLASS Award focuses on the total
student-athlete and encourages those leaders to use their platform
in athletics to make a positive impact on their circle of
influence.

A religious studies concentrator focusing in East Asian Buddhism
at Brown, Muldoon carries a 3.2 GPA. One of the most prolific
scorers in Brown lacrosse history, Muldoon’s 98 goals rank
10th in the Brown record book, while his 132 career
points are 18th best in Brown lacrosse history.

A two-time first team All-Ivy and All-New England selection,
Muldoon helped the Bears to an Ivy League Championship in 2008 and
an NCAA Championship appearance in 2009. He netted four goals in
Brown's NCAA Playoff game against Johns Hopkins, and scored 36
goals overall, while handing out 11 assists. Muldoon scored four or
more goals four other times in games vs. Delaware, Bryant, Yale and
Providence.

Muldoon has also been a pillar of strength in the
community. Last fall, he ran a coat drive to benefit a
local shelter, organizing the Brown campus for the City
of Pawtucket's warm coat and clothing drive:
marketing, managing the collection, and assigning
responsibilities to teammates. He collected over 100
coats and many other winter clothing items.

Brown’s team captain has been a major part of
Brown’s efforts with a local 3rd grade classroom at
Fox Point Elementary School including
potentially starting an after-school program with a teammate
Matt Greenberg teaching lacrosse in 2010. He
really enjoys spending time with the kids, and he is
among the team’s best attendees. In addition, Muldoon
has had a big role with the Brown lacrosse team’s
major initiatives with the Room to Read, the Innocence
Project, Sustainable Harvest International, and the
Wounded Warrior Project 36 hour runs, where our program
raised enough money ($18,000) to build a school in
rural Sri Lanka and support the efforts of the
Innocence Project (over $20,000) and SHI and
WWP ($10,000 each).
